Keepin' it real with an early 80s Free Spirit. Somehow I've managed to make this my commuter, although I'm saving up for something newer, and LIGHTER. Holy heck that thing is a pain to lug up a flight of stairs or walk up a steep hill that I can't handle (yet). http://cbsavestheworld.blogspot.com/freespiritrubylou.jpg

We went out today with both of the bikes for the first time today. I'm happy to report I was able to keep up...only because I have a 2 week start on riding and the shoes for his clipless pedals haven't come in yet. Oh well, I'll just have to train harder than him!
